Solute transport within single pores post-pulse

TL;DR

This paper investigates the transport behavior within individual pores after a pulse, revealing active transport phenomena and proposing experimental methods to identify specific pore regions.

Contribution

It uncovers active transport in single pores post-pulse and introduces experimental design strategies based on model parameters.

Findings

Single pores show active transport (drift) shortly after pulse.

Passive diffusion is not the only transport mechanism observed.

Proposed experimental methods to locate specific pore regions.

Abstract

We present results of studying the post-pulse transport properties of single pores. Single pores exhibit active transport (drift), and not just passive transport (diffusion) at early post-pulse times. In addition, we suggest experimental design methods obtained from model parameters that would enable experimentalists to find localized regions of a few pores.
